Antarctica

Reimbursed Care Access

Antarctica is not a sovereign state; persons and activities on the continent are governed by the laws and medical/regulatory systems of their sponsoring nation(s). Operational medical care at research stations is provided under national programs (and emergency medevac arrangements), so licensure, criminal law, drug scheduling and reimbursement for any psychoactive compound are determined by each individual participant’s country of origin and the national operator running the station, not by a single Antarctic authority.
